Hand-drawn Digital Scrapbooking kits and Clip Art for teachers, scrapbookers and crafters!
Digital stamps are often (sadly!) overlooked in favour of more colourful 3D elements but today I’m going to share some ways for you to use line art and stamps to add an extra something special to your scrapbook pages! Before we start, here’s a quick guide to the different types of stamps available in my …
I recently asked my Creative Team what they would like me to make for autumn and a Pumpkin Spice theme was the runaway winner! So I got busy drawing a yummy new collection of pumpkins, coffee, lattes, falling leaves and lots and lots of delicious autumnal colours (I do love a gorgeous autumn colour scheme!). Today I’m …
I have a wonderfully varied assortment of projects from the team to share with you this month – from greetings cards to bullet journals, learning activities to traveller’s notebook spreads and halloween decorations to scrapbook pages!

The Creative Team have been busy scrapping away with the latest new releases to hit the shop and I have some fabulous back-to-school themed layouts to share with you today!

I recently had a couple of requests for a build-your-own-ice-cream pack and as soon as I read them I know just what I wanted to call the new set. The old childhood phrase of “I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!” brought back so many happy memories of yummy ice cream treats …
I have a lovely collection of projects from the Creative Team to share with you this month: some layouts, some cards, some printables and even a play cafe menu! School is finally out for my kids so we’re enjoying the lazier days and the lack of routine, if it’s summer where you are too I …
All the glorious summer sunshine in this month’s selection of Creative Team projects makes my heart happy! We are counting down the days until the end of the school term here and very much looking forward to some staycation adventures this summer, sunshine or no sunshine. If you have some summer pics to scrap I …
I have a lot of fond memories of trips to our local aquarium, many from when my daughter was very young. We often visited for her birthday treat (she’s a winter baby so an indoor adventure was ideal) and got to see Father Christmas swimming amongst the sharks! I recently asked the team to share …
Today I’m sharing some colourful inspiration from the Creative Team using some of the Art Joodles range (art journalling + doodles = art joodles!). I created these joodles on painted book papers so they’re a bit messier than my usual drawings with the original book text showing through in places and lots of little details, …
The sun is finally shining again after the wettest May on record here in the UK. I am more than ready for some warmer, sunnier – and most importantly – drier days! (I know I’m reinforcing that Great British stereotype that we always talk about the weather, but it’s just so lovely to see the …
Today I’m sharing the technique that Creative Team member Ria used to create the most amazing foiled backgrounds for her cards using my Doodled Overlays, some metallic foil and a laminator! Here’s a little video of the lovely foiled patterned paper she created, check out that shine! If you’d like to make some foiled background …
When I was deciding what to make for NSD this year I went back to my trusty list of suggestions and again picked the theme with the most requests. (By the way, I can’t tell you how useful it is to have that list, I’m shockingly bad at making decisions so having you tell me …
I’m wrapping up the month with another Creative Team Gallery! I always love seeing all the pages and projects from the team and all the creative ways they use my illustrations to create their cards, scrapbook pages and teaching resources. This month it’s a mixed bag of spring, wizards and April Fools, I hope you …

The lovely people at Chalkola recently sent me a selection of their Chalk Markers to play with and I’m excited to show you what I created with them! To begin with, I tested the markers out on some black paper (if you have been following along with my Meet the Maker posts on Instagram you …
As March Meet the Maker comes to a close, I thought I’d share some of my posts from the second half of the month. I did lose some steam over the last week or so and didn’t post as often as I did to begin with, but I still really enjoyed the process and found …
Spring has finally sprung here this month and I’m really enjoying the warmer days, the (occasional) blue skies, the birdsong and the blossom on the trees! I do love this time of year when everything comes back to life. The team have also been inspired by the changing seasons, there are quite a few spring …
If you follow me on Instagram you might already have seen some of the March Meet the Maker prompts I’ve been posting recently! If you’re not familiar with the Meet the Maker challenge here’s how founder Joanne Hawker describes it: #MarchMeetTheMaker is a 31 day Instagram Challenge, set by Joanne Hawker (and solely Joanne!) that runs throughout March every …
Another month is almost over and so it is time for another Creative Gallery, I always enjoy these posts and very much look forward to showing off the latest creations from the team.

If you’re looking for ideas to scrap birthday photos or for some hand-made …
I’m wrapping up my anniversary celebrations with another sticker giveaway! These vinyl stickers are really fun – you can use them for paper crafting but they’re also durable enough to stick on book covers, drink cups, laptop cases and more. I’ve gone for an anniversary / birthday / celebration theme this time with these happy …
If you’ve been reading this blog for a while you’ll probably already know that (a) I’m a big animal lover and that (b) ironically, animals are one of the subjects I find hardest to draw! I’ve had a pets set on my to-do list for a long time now and it was top of my …

I’m adding to my collection of kawaii colouring pages today with this under-the-sea doodle. This is an old sketchbook drawing inspired by a “Sea Creatures” drawing prompt that I’ve scanned and turned into a colouring page for you, because everyone needs some kawaii jellyfish in their lives! It’s maybe not the most obvious theme for …
